New small molecule inhibitors of hepatitis C virus
摘要:
New small molecule inhibitors of HCV were discovered by screening a small library of indoline alkaloid-type compounds. An automated assay format was employed which allowed identification of dimerization inhibitors of core, the capsid protein of the virus. These compounds were subsequently shown to block production of infectious virus in hepatoma cells. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
